Peech: Text to Speech Reader 4+

I’ve compared Peech to 5 of the other top text-to-voice apps. My primary use is listening to articles on news web sites (such as NYT, Washington Post, etc). As a whole, it works the best for me. First, while there is only one voice available, it is as good or better than all the other voices I’ve used in the other apps. It’s natural sounding and clear. More importantly, the speaker does not pause or stop in the middle of an article as it does in most all of the other apps. It also doesn’t drain your battery or make your phone hot as it does in other apps with longer articles. My biggest complaint is that it doesn’t work with the Washington Post, though converting the article to a PDF and loading the PDF does work. Finally, it would be nice if there was more control of the ordering of library items and if you could toggle on/off whether the app automatically reads the next article in the list. But overall, highly recommended.

Thanks for your feedback. We will pass your comments on to the developers.

The app suddenly changed voices in the middle of a document I was listening to. Now it seems to try to change voices depending on the gender of whoever is speaking? However, it gets it wrong a lot of the time and it’s distracting. I wish I knew this change was coming and had the option to switch back to the old voice, as this one doesn’t even work properly. There isn’t any way to report an issue in the app (at least I couldn’t find it) so don’t know what to do other than leave a review. Other than this new update, I do love the app… hopefully it’s resolved soon.

UPDATE: The app is now also playing music too?? Not at all what I would want hahaha. The changing voices is extremely distracting, even when they’re the “right” gender. Bummed I paid for this.

Update: because the person who writes the replys to this app is so funny I started reading more reviews until I found a suggestion to try and manage the subscription not from app but from apple subscription sertings. I was able to turn it on. I suspect thats because I had a previous subscription like half a year ago. But guys I dont think people who will come back will know that they need to actually activate the subscription from apple settings. I think there should be a technical way to do it from your side or at very least write a note at the bottom of error message. I spent 2 hours trying to figure. 4 stars for now until you will bring more voice options. Have a wonderful day you lovely person :)
